wilsons <[log in to unmask]> wrote...... one mention of a ferret and many paragraphs about her love for all animals and then she advertised her and her families web page, which clearly states she has "livestock" and "feeder pigs" for sale. This post doesn't make any sense to me. One word about ferrets in order to "qualify" for the FML? This post seemed like nothing more than an advertisement for her business. Pet stores that know nothing about ferrets they have "rescued" are not always doing the ferrets a favor. Did the store have any information about the ferret to give a prospective new owner? Although unnamed, this "exotic" pet store is in the area here in Washington, where there have been several "undercover" investigations of the illegal "exotics" being sold. I only hope the ferret has not ended up at that place. Seattle Animal Control took a ferret, that had been surrendered to them, to a radio show last Friday. During the interview the person stated that they should be fed fruit and veggies. The ferret is at our shelter now and will be adopted with appropriate information for the new owner.
